Bath & Body Works, 2017
Starfruit and warm sandalwood anchor this surprisingly balanced composition that defies its mall-brand origins. The opening cuts through with tart, crystalline fruit—not overtly sweet—before settling into a soft ambery core that feels more powdered and inviting than the typical body-spray intensity you'd expect. There's a musk underneath that leans cotton-soft rather than sharp.
What emerges after twenty minutes is a clean, pillowy sweetness that reads younger without being juvenile. It wears close to skin, almost like a fabric softener memory mixed with that particular warmth department stores pump through their cosmetics floors. The sandalwood never goes woody in the traditional sense—it's more textural than literal, adding body without darkness.
A crowd-pleaser built for accessibility. It won't challenge anyone, but it executes its brief cleanly: approachable warmth with just enough character to feel intentional rather than generic.
